ATS SCHOLAR Call for Papers: Special Collection on Combatting Racism in Health Professions Education
ATS Scholar is planning a special, themed collection on combatting racism in health professions education. Relevant topics include, among others, teaching how to identify and interrupt microaggressions, curricula on health disparities, work on methods for diversifying incoming trainees, and tools for educators on how to reduce bias. ATS Scholar invites original research, review articles, innovations, and video submissions for consideration. View from the Learner Commentaries from students, residents, and fellows are also encouraged. If you have questions about whether a potential submission is a fit for this collection, please contact Nitin Seam, MD, editor-in-chief, ATS Scholar.
All submissions are due by Sept. 30, 2020, should conform to ATS Scholar’s formatting requirements, and should mention the special, themed collection at the beginning of the cover letter. View from the Learner Commentaries should include an identifying note in the cover letter as well. Authors with formatting questions should contact Jen Stinnett.

AJRCCM Call for Papers: Asthma Special Edition
Asthma is an area of high interest for the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine. Our 2019 special asthma issue had a large influence among the scientific community, with several articles included in the “Highly Cited” category by the Institute for Scientific Information.
With a 2019 impact factor of 17.45, AJRCCM is increasingly better positioned to raise awareness in asthma research, and thus will publish a new special issue with original articles on topics related to asthma in adults and children in February 2021.
We invite asthma scientists to submit original papers involving basic and translational research, epidemiological science, clinical trials, and community-based research.
Submissions must conform to the formatting requirements, and include a cover letter mentioning the special asthma-themed issue. Please contact Marc Bendian with questions.
We would also like to recognize AJRCCM editor-in-chief, Jadwiga (Wisia) Wedzicha MD, PhD, ATSF, whose editorship was recently extended through 2021!
